George McDonald Du Plessis

God called His warrior.

George McDonald Du Plessis (63), was born on August 18, 1960 in South Africa and passed away on August 9, 2024 in Indian Wells, California. He graduated from John Vorster High School in South Africa, earned his BS in Business Management and MBA from the University of Phoenix. He loved anything computer related, fishing and camping, but most of all, the love of his life, his wife, daughters, grandchildren and son in law: Always sharing how proud he is of what they accomplish and his love for them. During his career his colleagues knew him as the problem solver of the team, the one willing to help and motivate others. 

George displayed the warrior he was as he fought the ultimate fight, a sixteen year battle against cancer. His strength and will to live inspired those around him. 

He is survived by his loving wife: Suzette Du Plessis, his pride and joy: daughters, Lizelle Haughton (husband Neville), Natascha Du Plessis, grand children: Naschelle Haughton, Annabella Hill, Daniel Haughton and numerous relatives and close friends.

The family would like to thank Gentiva Hospice: office staff, doctors, nurses and HHA for their support and compassion. A special thank you to the director and caregivers at MD Premier Luxury Senior Homes in Indian Wells, for the loving care George received during his final journey. Thank you also to the family and friends who came from near and far to visit George one last time.

Per his wishes he will be cremated with no service. A celebration of life is being planned for George, December 10, 2024, in Redlands, California. Please email sduplessis.ca@gmail.com for more information.
